some update on the schnellboot S.38

am working on the hull filling etc so it going to take some time to get the hull ready for paint, but

am also working to get the dekk ready for paint, 

i used Eduard PE for the hatches and also PE detail sheet for S.38 with the sheet from Italeri.

some gunn barrels and some Bofors pe sheet for more detail.

the paint am using is from Vallejo .

hi again.. 

some update on my schnellboot s.38 ....   after i got my new aibrush i can move forward on this build , 

startad to paint all the parts and dry fitt then on the boat ,all the detail paint wil come after all is glued on .

am not happy with some of the paint fore the wood dekk , so this has to be re painted in the right wood paints .

i wil do some weathering also before i can say its finish😊.

Fantastic build sir!

 

I have the PT-109 kit and look to RC it. I have always liked the Type 38 as opposed to the S-100.

lFollowing along ,Looking forward to seeing the finished boat!

I love the flawlessly clean look of your build so far... well done sir!

[Ras Ambrioso]

I am on it. Great kit. Maybe ,after I finish my wood Fifie, I'll take this plastic model for a try. Incidentally, years ago, I built the 1/72 Airfix version of the S38 and it was one of my favorites until my sons took it to play in the pool. What I really liked about that kit was the crew. On your model at 1/35 scale the crew will look outstanding. Good job so far and I will be following you.
